Programme Detail

A Slow Evening of Storytelling

“Curated for Storytelling.” — Ekta

An intimate night of oral stories, warm candlelight, and acoustic sitar music.

An evening built around small-group listening, live music, tea, and thoughtful pacing. Guests gather on floor cushions under soft warm lighting as master storytellers recount personal narratives of memory, migration, and belonging.
